Joaquín 'Ximo' Navarro Armero (Valencian pronunciation: [ˈtʃimo naˈvaro]; born 12 September 1988) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a right-back or right midfielder.

Club career

[edit]

Born in Valencia, Navarro joined hometown Valencia CF's youth ranks in early 2005, then spent the following years with the reserves, helping them return to the Segunda División B in his first season. He started his career as a right-back.

Navarro made his first-team debut in late 2008, appearing in both legs against lowly Club Portugalete in the Copa del Rey's round of 32, a 7–1 aggregate win.[1][2] For the 2009–10 campaign, he was loaned by coach Unai Emery to neighbouring Elche CF in the Segunda División.[3]

After leaving the Mestalla Stadium on 30 June 2011, Navarro resumed his career in the Super League Greece, where he represented a host of clubs. On 4 January 2018, Athlitiki Enosi Larissa F.C. released the 29-year-old.[4]
